1nycnAI, REMARKs-There was very little
BUSINESS as whole doing in the general mar
lat during last week. In some few departments
here was more doing than usual, but in ma
,ority trading was very slow, and it is apparent
mat we are in the midst of the usual summer
dpllness prevalent at this time of the
gear. While no improvement is expected for
,orns time 10 come there was not a single
faature in commercial circles TO attract any
special attention. In groceries the market was
couparatively quiet, although the demand,
while light. was quite steady, with
lew price changes, the most important
being the advance in bacon. In
dry goods there is good business in progress,
and orders are arriving very freely. There was
however, no appreciate changes in values
which continue quite firm. There is also a good
demand for hardware, and probably the heaviest
trading ever experienced, for this part of the
eason is reported. In all other departments
here is little or nothing doing to spaak of.
collections are slow and unsatisfactory, but trav-
.ers' reports from the interior are quite en-
.ouragng The money market is in about the
same condition as previously reported, though
with some tendency to much easier feeling.
The security market was rather quiet and mac
i've. with an easier feeling as to prices The
following review will show the tone and latest
,uotations of the different markets at the clos
